Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus, which includes a fixing claw and a claw receiver for mounting a front casing to a rear casing.
  • a fixing claw which protrudes downward from an upper wall of a rear casing is locked to a claw receiver which protrudes from the front casing.
  • the fixing claw is locked to the claw receiver as describe above so that the front casing is mounted to the rear casing.
  • Patent Literature 1 there is disclosed a technology which involves use of the fixing claw and the claw receiver to mount the front casing to the rear casing.
  • Patent Literature 2 a technology is disclosed which allows for an easy mounting of the front casing to the rear casing by an improved design of the fixing claw and claw receiver.
  • An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus is a mass-produced product. Therefore, a mold for manufacturing the indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus is worn away. Further, in manufacturing the indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus, assembly is performed by hand.
  • the indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus may be installed, for example, in a room near a kitchen or a room where oil or solvent is used.
  • the oil or the solvent which has been scattered in an indoor space may intrude into the indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus through the gap formed at the joint portion of the upper end of the rear casing and the upper end of the front casing.
  • the oil or the solvent which has intruded may reach the fixing claw and the claw receiver for locking the rear casing and the front casing to each other.
  • the rear casing and the front casing are components which are made of amorphous plastic.
  • the amorphous plastic is broken with stress significantly smaller than a break strength that the plastic itself exhibits. In this description, such breakage phenomenon is hereinafter referred to as crazing.
  • the fixing claw and the claw receiver receive stress caused by supporting the front casing.
  • the crazing may occur in the fixing claw or the claw receiver due to intrusion of the oil or the solvent.
  • the crazing occurs in the fixing claw or the claw receiver, there is a fear in that the front casing comes off of the rear casing.
  • the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and has an object to provide an indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus, which is capable of preventing crazing in a fixing claw or a claw receiver intrusion of oil or solvent.
  • an indoor unit according to claim 1.
  • the recessed portion which is opened upward is formed on the front side of the claw receiver of the overlap portion.
  • the gap is formed due to molding variation or assembly variation.
  • the oil or the solvent adheres to the recessed portion to be stored therein even when the oil or the solvent intrudes through the gap. Therefore, the oil or the solvent which has intruded does not reach the fixing claw and the claw receiver to which the stress is applied. Therefore, the crazing in the fixing claw or the claw receiver due to intrusion of the oil or the solvent can be prevented.
  • the indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus may be installed, for example, in a room near a kitchen or a room where the oil or the solvent is used, and hence there is no need to consider the installation place therefore.
